Salem 1692 - A Wicked Games Review!

[@Facade_Games]

If you are just randomly accusing people "by the cut of their jib" as indicated here, I think you're missing out on much of the intrigue of the game. You can use a lot of logic based on who is working together, who is playing cards against who, whose demeanor shifts after a conspiracy, how people react when you do accuse them, etc to provide clues about who might be a witch. Overall a nice video though!

How do you think the Agatha Christie Game compares to this one? They seem similar to me but I’m trying to only pick one to buy. Also Growl if you’re familiar with that game.

Hi Lollmylifeex3. You’re right in that both games are very similar but out of the two I prefer this one because of the ability of the spreading the traitor (witch) to other players. That said I love the theme of Agatha Christie, and the puns on the cards - but for game play Salem wins I think. If you’ve not come across social deduction games and we’re looking to buy one then it might be worth looking at Secret Hitler too - that game has an intro app voiced by Will Wheaton.

I just bought this game and it has no spy card in it..? How is that possible

[@rockie4200]

I’ve seen some people say that the witch cards are darker than not a witch cards. Is that true? (Great vid btw)

Thanks for the comment, Rockie. Not sure about the answer so I went and checked. All the cards seemed the same colour to me. Hope that helps?

What's the difference between the Holocaust and the Salem witch trials? Salem didn't have any real witches to kill. Seriously, the best way to survive is never cross the Putnam/Parris faction, never borrow money from the Putnams, and never oppose the proceedings or let anyone know you don't believe in them.
